The physical copies are written by men but there is more to the Word of God than the physical.
Yes the physical copies were written by men . . .
Words have power that goes beyond the actual physical words. For example POTUS could give the word to start a nuclear war thus there is power behind his words. The same with the Bible. There is power greater than the men who wrote them.The originals were also written by men. That's my point. They are the words of men.

LOL.So writes a man. Still just the words of men.
LOL.
1st Corinthians 23-25 " But we preach Christ crucified , unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called , both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
AMEN.
It's backed by an authority just like the Bible except a much greater authority.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.The originals were also written by men. That's my point. They are the words of men.
See above quote in red. Memorize it. Now, we see you offer no science here. HeheBut I never have tried to discuss God's word with you. I only have been discussing what the Bible says.
Notice it's the "Word of God" and not language of God. Man's language is flawed and limited. The Word of God is forever settled and was in the beginning but the Bible has been translated into different languages. A heavily used Bible will eventually fall apart but the Word of God will not. This doesn't mean the Bible isn't the Word of God but the Word of God is more than a butch of words written in ink on paper.

Yes ... we're familiar with the accusations of how poorly we interpret the Bible.We were discussing your abuse and misuse of the Bible through your errant translations of it.
No. Look at the op. If anyone were to ask you what the bible or God meant...they should seek help.Since we were not discussing science there was no reason to offer any science. We were discussing your abuse and misuse of the Bible through your errant translations of it.
Of course. The long awaited sign from God that messiah was here....a young woman would have a baby.Yes ... we're familiar with the accusations of how poorly we interpret the Bible.
After all, "virgin" should be interpreted by us as "young girl," shouldn't it?
You mean the word that was misinterpreted as "virgin"? The word that elsewhere was not interpreted as "virgin"? Yes, that is only one of the errors in your version of the Bible. But you should be happy to know that the most modern interpretations have not reproduced that error.Yes ... we're familiar with the accusations of how poorly we interpret the Bible.
